    ***UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT within the last week***…read more I read previous reviews and saw some negative ones. The new management seems to have stepped things up. I could not put into words how GREAT Wawaloam campground. Sometimes when you visit a campground it feels like you are staying in a parking lot. This is AMAZING. The sites are spacious and incredibly maintained. It is beautiful. Trees and grassy area everywhere. The staff is extremely nice and accommodating. There are things for the kids to do. There is a pool, water slide, splashpad, minigolf, big playground and plenty of room for the bike riding. The property is well layed out. For those not traveling with children there is an area that was by us that was 55 and older. The location is not that far from Newport (which is where we were visiting) and Providence. We were only there for 3 days would highly recommend this location. We will be back again and for a much longer time.

    When we arrived there was dog poop everywhere in the site my kids kept stepping in it as well as…read moresome paper trash, people were being loud all night, day 2 there was well/ water issues which caused bathrooms to be closed and no on site water for a day. The pool seemed to be leaking as it was only half full in the am my 3yo could stand and it wasn't even up to his chest, they had a hose in filling it all day to keep it from going empty I guess. Leaky shower flooded woman's room overall kind of a mess as far as maintenance but all of those things aren't anything I would normally complain about. Things happen the worlds an imperfect place no big deal. The one thing that really upset me and ruined our stay was the aggressive rude seasonal campers screaming at me and at my children multiple times through the week. The staff was very unhelpful and told me well they are seasonal and you are a visitor ‍ we were not visitors to a site we booked and paid for a site for our family for a week stay Sunday to Sunday. I don't think it's to anyone's benefit to allow seasonal campers to terrorize families just for using the amenities mid week. We arrived to swim at 10am and were berated by a man screaming that it wasn't 10am yet asking me if I knew how to read to go look at the sign etc I showed the time on my phone as did several other patrons including the man's own wife. Despite this he reported us to staff for arriving at 10 minutes to 10 I pushed back and ensured the staff that we did in fact arrive at ten and she became rude and hostile I looked right at the man and reminded him that it was 10am per everyone's clock including his wife's. The staff yelled at me for speaking to him. She ended up apologizing and saying that if she didn't reprimand me in front of him he would tell her boss and she would get in trouble like what? I don't think it's to anyone's benefit for management to encourage or support seasonal campers to harass shorter term campers. This only emboldens them to continue or escalate their behavior. One of them yelled at my autistic son on the playground making him extremely emotionally distressed my husband was there watching him and told the guy if he had a problem to let him know and he would address it with our son and not to speak to our son again especially being aggressive. Shortly after the playground incident a group of them got together and came and stood at the end of my site scowling at me and grumbling I ignored them but it was very strange and aggressive behavior. This campground is advertised as a family friendly place if the owners want it to be a seasonal only location they should run it as such and change their business model, they could also consider making it a 55+ retirement community. Worst camping experience of my life to date.

    This place is disgusting ... as soon as you drive in, there is a huge pile of garbage on your right…read moreincluding mattresses! On the front porch of the office, there is junk and garbage all littered on the porch.... But the worst part of my visit was the bathrooms that are NEVER CLEANED BY ANYONE! Because there is no septic for the campers, using their bathroom was necessary.... One toilet was broken, two of the other toilets were loaded with feces. The shower stalls were loaded with bugs, as were the sinks. And then there was a sign on the garbage can in the bathroom stating "wipe down the showers after use "... like it's my job to clean their nasty bathroom. There was a bug in one of the sinks when I got there Friday, and it was still there when I left on Sunday afternoon. The grounds to this campground are not kept up at all, and they also had a bunch of dilapidated unoccupied campers on spots that looks like they've been deserted for years. Stay away clear of this disgusting hole... it is gross there... and if you do go... I suggest a tetanus shot first.... Gross...

    So I actually didn't stay at the campground. But I did buy a piece trough off Facebook market…read moreplace. The owner Dorothy was very nice over the phone and unfortunately for me my gas gauge was broken and my car ran out of gas on site. She was so nice to send her nephew to the gas station to get me on my way. I couldn't appreciate the kindness more. People driving by even asked if I needed help and asked if I was staying and that it was a beautiful campground.
